AFL Futures: Post Round 19 Betting Update

Check out all the market-movers after a massive weekend of footy!

Premiership

Richmond have shortened as flag favourites yet again after knocking off fellow contenders Collingwood on Saturday. The Tigers are now into around $2.50, while the Pies have drifted from $7 out to $9.

West Coast have also eased in the market after going down to North Melbourne by 40 points in Tasmania on Sunday afternoon, they have gone from around $6.50 out to $8.

The punters are liking what they've seen with the Giants over the last month, they loom as a very dangerous side heading into September and are now equal second favourites with the bookies for the flag at around $7-8.

Rising Star

There hasn't been much movement in the Rising Star market this week as most of the main contenders had quiet games over the weekend. Jaidyn Stephenson is still the favourite at $1.80, followed by Brisbane's Alex Witherden at $4.

Cam Rayner, Ben Ronke, Oliver Florent and Ed Richards all had relatively quiet games, while Tom Doedee didn't play this week due to concussion.

Brownlow Medal

Tom Mitchell starred yet again for the Hawks on Sunday by picking up 42 disposals, kicking 2 goals and is odds on to collect 3 more Brownlow votes. He is now the red hot favourite to claim the Charlie and is now listed as short as $1.75 with Ladbrokes.

Patrick Cripps has been shown a bit of love after his 37 disposal performance against the Suns on Saturday, he should be among the vote-getters and has shortened from $10 into around $8.

West Coast midfielder Andrew Gaff had a quiet day by his lofty standards against North Melbourne on Sunday only picking up 21 touches. Gaff has drifted from $6 (William Hill) out to closer to $10.

After another BOG performance, is it time we started taking Patrick Cripps' Brownlow chances seriously?

Coleman Medal

Tom Hawkins has emerged as a bolter for the Coleman after back-to-back 7 goal hauls. The Tomahawk now has 48 goals for the year and is only 5 majors behind current leader Ben Brown. Hawkins has miraculously shortened from $151 three weeks ago into $4 currently, while Brown is is still the unbackable favourite at around $1.20.

Another lacklustre performance from both Lance Franklin and Jesse Hogan have seen them drift this week. Franklin has gone from around $7 out to $15, while Hogan is now listed at $41 after hovering around the $20 mark last week.
